Automatic backup

This will back up your chats and media to your iCloud account. You can choose to include or exclude videos from the backup. The iCloud backup process can take a while to complete, depending on your Internet connection and backup size.

Requirements

You must be signed in with the Apple ID you use to access iCloud.

You must have iOS 9 or later and iCloud Drive must be turned on.

There must be enough free space on both your iCloud and iPhone. You need to have at least 2.05 times the space available in your iCloud account and on your phone than the actual size of your backup.

If you're concerned about your cellular data usage, we recommend that you limit your iCloud to only back up on Wi-Fi.

Restore from a previous backup

If you've previously backed up your iPhone using iCloud or iTunes, you might be able to retrieve your WhatsApp chats by restoring your iPhone from a previous backup. For more information on backing up and restoring your iPhone, visit the Apple Support website.

Export chat history

You can email yourself your chat history if you'd like to save a chat.
